Aimia is an island chain that consists of one large island and numerous smaller islands situated off the west coast of [[Shinovar]]. It is bordered on the east by the Aimian Sea and on the west by the [[Endless Ocean]].{{map ref|Roshar}} At least some of the islands had undersea caverns.{{epigraph ref|sa3|63}} Aimia is subject to [[highstorm]]s.{{wob ref|7328}} One of the smaller islands at the north end of the chain is called [[Akinah]].{{book ref|sa3|i|4}}

One of the smaller islands at the north end of the chain is called [[Akinah]].{{book ref|sa3|i|4}} This island has undersea caverns, and it is possible some other islands do as well.{{epigraph ref|sa3|63}}{{book ref|sa3.5|16}} It is well protected from outsiders, due to a [[Dawnshard]] having been present on the island until Rysn became it and left.{{wob ref|13040}}{{book ref|sa3.5|19}}

A decent number of peoplehumans resided in Aimia at one point. It appears that since the scouring they have been killed or fled, some of them to [[Alm]]. These people did their beards in the same corded way as those from [[Steen]]. Little else is known about them.{{book ref|sa3.5|9}}

Many of the animals native to Aimia differ from other animals on Roshar. Unlike Shin animals, Aimian animals fit into the ecosystem of Roshar but have exceptional features that make them distinct, including [[lancerynlancer]], known for their large [[gemheart]]s,{{book ref|twok|36}} and [[larkin]], known for ingesting [[Investiture]] such as [[Stormlight]].{{book ref|sa3|i|13}} LancerynLancer and larkin are directly related in some way.{{wob ref|6497}}{{book ref|sa3.5|19}} Aimian animals are now exceptionally rare and modern Rosharans incorrectly believe that larkin are extinct.{{book ref|sa1|36}}{{book ref|sa2|i|3}} The few larkin remaining appear to have been taken in by the [[Na-Alind]], and [[Rysn]] acquiredwas given [[Chiri-Chiri|aone larkinof these]] in the [[Reshi Isles]], but its origin is unclear.{{book ref|sa2|i|2}}{{book ref|sa3.5|1}}

At some point, a scouring occurred at Aimia, however, what exactly occurred, and why, is unknown.

The Aimian Sea near the islands became very dangerous, with strange winds and storms that seem to originate in the islands.{{book ref|sa3|i|4}} In particular, one constant storm surrounds the island of Akinah.{{book ref|sa3|i|4}}{{book ref|sa3.5|3}}{{book ref|sa3.5|2}} Akinah is now surrounded by a wall of [[Soulcast]] stone spikes that are forty feet tall, with additional spikes underwater to deter ships.{{book ref|sa3|i|4}} [[Kaza]] believes that the spikes must have been created by multiple Soulcasters working together.{{book ref|sa3|i|4}}
